The Flash is an American television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns, airing on The CW. It is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds. It is a spin-off from Arrow. The series follows Allen, portrayed by Grant Gustin, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities.

I liked the first use of time travel last season, just because it came as such a surprise. I would have preferred if he never figured out how to control it and never did it again, haha

I'm still enjoying Arrow, if only for for Neil McDonagh as Damien Dahrk.

I liked some of the family stuff, and thought the Joe/Iris/Wally/Barry stuff was pretty good, but the rest of it was just kinda ... meh. I agree that the first use was kinda cool, but they should have just made that the one case or something. Because since we know that he can use it it makes nothing else really have the same stakes. Like WinterChillGuy is gonna kill you? Well, we know you can go back in time so I'm not even kind of worried. I dunno. It's weird.

I have liked Dahrk's portrayal, but that's been the only thing about the show I've liked this season.

I find I'm really not into the action stuff in The Flash lately. I agree that the strongest stuff in the pre-break episode were the more simplistic character interaction scenes, and I kind of think that's been a trend. I don't think Zoom is a very good villain, so maybe that's why I'm a little bored.

Overall, I've enjoyed this season of Arrow more than the last, and I think that's because I enjoy Dahrk so much more than I enjoyed Ra's. But I'm still struggling to remember a standout episode from the fall, other than maybe the premiere. I think my expectations are just so much lower for that show than they used to be. It used to be something I really looked forward to all week. Now it's just, "Oh hey, this is on, I'll watch it." I miss season 2, haha

That's a great point. I feel the same way. It's the difference between the shows that when they air I'm like "oh fuck yes, can't wait to watch this tonight" versus these where I've let a few weeks pile up and it's like "oh, ok, I'll turn that on if there's not something better on and I'm just about to fall asleep and want to zone out" -- if that makes sense.

I think all of the table setting for Legends of Tomorrow has really hurt both shows for me. Maybe it'll pay off with a cool show, but all of the hints and set-ups have been tiresome, and that crossover episode was...not so good.

Definitely makes sense. I have a stack of shows that fall into that "I'll watch when I have time category." Also, trying out the highlighting certain sentences and using the quote/reply option. Pretty cool little shortcut.

Edit: And apparently I did it wrong and chose multi-quote first instead of 'reply.'

@Jason Tate I think you'll really love it. It's probably the best episode of BerlaniVerse from the current season of television, which isn't exactly saying much but it's also one of my favorites of the entire universe in general.
